The Big Bang and The Bible

Many scientists now believe that approximately 13 billion years ago, the entire universe was compressed into a point of infinite density, a “singularity”, where all laws of physics breakdown. Then in a “Big Bang”, the universe began to form, expanding to this day. It’s accurate to say that the universe was created out of nothing; indeed, it was a miracle.

It’s easy to see why atheists reject this idea, for such a beginning implies a cause, and thus a creator. Nonetheless, the theory is supported by solid, scientific evidence and observation such as:

• Einstein's General Relativity
• Hubble’s Law
• Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
• 2nd Law of Thermodynamics

In his book “The First Three Minutes”, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg explains what happened when the universe began. “In the beginning there was an explosion… which occurred simultaneously everywhere, filling all space from the beginning with every particle of matter rushing part from every other particle…The universe,” he continued,” was filled with light."

Sounds familiar?

“In the beginning God created heaven and earth. Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters. God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.” (Genesis 1:1-3)
